Product Description
The Howa Superlite offers a significant advancement in ultralight hunting rifles, weighing an impressive 4.5-4.7 lbs (bare rifle). While the Superlite series is commonly associated with carbon fibre stocks, this Walnut Stock edition delivers a classic, traditional aesthetic without compromising the weight-saving innovations of the reduced-diameter action.
This comprehensive package combines the Howa Superlite rifle with the versatile Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x44 optic and the New Zealand-made DPT MK2 Suppressor, creating a premium, lightweight setup ideal for all-day bush and alpine hunting.
-
Sub-5lb Action: The Superlite action is uniquely engineered with a smaller diameter and a shortened bolt compared to standard short actions, significantly reducing weight while maintaining the renowned M1500 strength.
-
HACT Two-Stage Trigger: Howa’s Actuator Controlled Trigger system provides a crisp, predictable break with zero creep, crucial for precision shots in the field.
-
DPT MK2 Suppressor: This modular over-barrel suppressor is among the lightest available, weighing approximately 285gm. Its modular design allows for the addition or removal of baffles to achieve the ideal balance between sound reduction and overall rifle length.
-
Vortex Crossfire II 4-12x44: A rugged, clear optic featuring the V-Plex reticle for a clean sight picture. The 44mm objective lens provides excellent light transmission during dawn and dusk.
-
Machined Forged Bolt: Features an integral bolt handle and M16-style extractor for exceptional reliability in demanding environments.
-
3-Position Safety: Allows the rifle to be unloaded while the safety is fully engaged, offering an additional layer of security during steep climbs and challenging terrain.
